Los Angeles City Council District 1

Los Angeles City Council District 1 is one of the 15 districts of the Los Angeles City Council, representing sections of Northeast Los Angeles and Northwest Los Angeles. Councilmember Gil Cedillo is the current representative for CD 1, taking office on July 1, 2013.

Between 1923 and 1987 District 1 represented all, then parts, of the San Fernando Valley. It was redistricted in 1987 to cover an area northwest and north of Downtown Los Angeles, to provide another majority-Hispanic council district in the city.

The 1st District is separated from Downtown by the 110 freeway, and the boundary continues northeast until it reaches York Boulevard in Highland Park.

The district is approximately 13.5 square miles in area, making it the city's third-smallest council district.

The district includes the neighborhoods of Glassell Park, Cypress Park, Highland Park, Mount Washington, Solano Canyon, Elysian Park, Echo Park, Westlake, Angelino Heights, Lafayette Park, Chinatown, Lincoln Heights, Montecito Heights, and Pico Union.
